Efficient Solutions for Remote nShield HSMs

In distributed IT environments, hardware security modules (HSMs) – which safeguard a company’s encryption keys – are often housed in remote data centers. This can make HSM management and monitoring challenging and increase the cost and effort required to access information about this mission-critical security hardware.

Entrust offers nShield HSM management and monitoring solutions that help you optimize resources while improving uptime – reducing operational overhead and saving time and money.

KeySafe 5

KeySafe 5 monitoring capabilities enable operations teams to gain 24/7 visibility into the status and health of all their nShield HSMs, including those deployed across remote and distributed data centers. With this HSM monitoring solution, security teams can quickly inspect HSMs and identify potential security, configuration, or utilization issues before they affect mission-critical infrastructure.

nShield Remote Administration

nShield HSMs often run in physically secure, lights-out data centers in locations far from the people who manage them. nShield Remote Administration lets you manage your HSMs – including adding applications, upgrading firmware, and checking status – wherever and whenever you choose. This means less travel to data centers, helping you cut costs and optimize your resources.

Operation Costs Reduction

Eliminate the costs associated with physically accessing HSMs to retrieve important data.

Utilization Optimization

Find trends in HSM performance and capacity to assist in optimizing deployment architecture.

Increased Responsiveness

Equip administrators with the timely, targeted insights they need to proactively take corrective actions.

Cost Reduction

Eliminate visits to data centers for HSM management, saving time, money, and staff downtime.

Greater Flexibility

Administer remotely located nShield HSMs from wherever you choose, 24/7.

More Control

The remote presentation of nShield smart cards lets you upgrade firmware, check HSM status, run utilities, and more.
